Habitat centre-type socio-cultural zone 
L.K. JOSHI, A FORMER PATRON OF THE INDIAN HABITAT CENTRE, HAS BEEN APPOINTED AS A CONSULTANT FOR THE CENTRE.
 

Dwarka will now very soon get a swanky new socio-cultural centre on the lines of the India Habitat Centre.

The centre will be located on a 10-acre land adjacent to DDA sports club in Sector 11.Called the Indraprastha Cultural Society,

it will be set up by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) -- the city's largest land owning and developing agency.

The concept plan for the Dwarka centre was recently finalised.

 

"The centre is in an advanced stage of planning. The concept for the proposed project has already been approved.We would shortly

call bids for Expressions of Interest to select architects for the project," said Neemo Dhar, DDA spokesperson.

 

The development authority has appointed L.K. Joshi, a former patron of the Indian Habitat Centre (IHC), as a consultant. Joshi

prepared the concept plan for the project. The centre will have a main auditorium with a seating capacity of 500 people,

two conference/seminar rooms, four dining halls, an exhibition hall and art gallery, a permanent art exhibition hall, library,

resource centre, indoor multi purpose halls, a reading room and a video library. There will also be space for open-air theatres,

lawns, pathways, water bodies, cafeteria, restaurant and landscaped garden.

 

DDA officials said that the centre at Dwarka is the first of the four such centres it is planning to set up in the city."Unlike IHC

or the India International Centre, these centres would not have an elitist image and would cater largely to the local population,"

said a DDA official who did not want to be quoted."The need to set up more socio cultural centres was felt since there are only

a handful of such centres at present and they are restricted to selected pockets of central and south Delhi," said the official.

Each year 50million trees and 75 billion water is used to create 7  million tonnes of mail, over 40% of which is thrown away unopened. source : National Geographic so the next time you receive paper, think again  before you print. choose to receive emails instead .

Is this the same project which the DLF has abondened in some other sector?  That was the biggest audiotorium to house 10,000 audiences. Which will be the site of this project as now   land measuring 10 acre is probably not available in sector 11.  

 

The park opposite Metro Sec 11 may have probably have that much land at a stretch..

The news of habitat center is too good to believe. I wish the project does not meet the fate of several other delayed projects like multi speciality Hosp etc. and this project gets implemenyed in a given time frame.
